Challenges
In a bid to streamline shared mobility, a medium-sized city embarked on an ambitious project. The primary goal was to integrate private micro-mobility services (like bikes and scooters) into a central system, enabling city hall to have comprehensive oversight and control. This integration was essential for optimizing urban transport, enhancing accessibility, and ensuring sustainable mobility management. Balancing private micro-mobility operations with public interests posed a significant challenge, requiring a sophisticated technological solution for real-time oversight and effective management.
- Integration of diverse private micro-mobility operators into a single system.
- Ensuring real-time tracking and management of all shared mobility resources.
- Developing a scalable, efficient solution for centralized control without impeding private operations.
- Establishing a standard protocol for data sharing and service regulation.
Solutions
We provided the IoT technology for the bike sharing fleet and created a MIDDLEWARE API BASED APP and a MOBILE APP for city operators to act as an asset manager for any private or public vehicle operating in sharing mode within the city. All sharing services were integrated via a single API, and the city’s operators had real-time data on all available and circulating vehicles
- IoT technology implementation for bike-sharing fleet management.
- Development of a Middleware API-based app for unified data integration.
- Creation of a mobile app for city operators to manage all shared vehicles.
- Standardization of an API for consistent data sharing and regulation of private services.
- Implementation of LoRaWAN smart lockers for efficient energy consumption.
